Besides unless this offensive philosophy changes we will see the same results, i'm glad Pitta is back but this doesn't change a thing offensive scheme and philosophy wise, it would be best for him to sit out the year get completely healthy we can get him for cheap, plus build this team around Joe.

I get your argument but I want to throw it out there that maybe Torrey and Pitta can be for a guy like Marlon Brown what Torrey and Boldin were for Pitta.

I hadn't even thought of it until I heard it on the radio yesterday that we are 3-1 at home this season, which means we are 1-5 on the road... that's a crazy split.

So, 3 more home games, against fairly weak opponents... if the Ravens want ANY CHANCE AT ALL of making the playoffs, they BETTER win the next three games.
I'm not nearly as concerned with DET and NE as the other poster above, and Cincy could very well be resting up for the playoffs. 5-1 or 6-0 seems actually quite plausible at this point, particularly with a healthy and productive Pitta.

with most of your post, but--

I wouldn't hitch the playoff wagon to that falling star just yet. The Kittehs have at least 3 tough games remaining before the season finale (@SD, IND, @PGH, MIN) & even if they've clinched the AFC by then, there may very well be enough of a difference between the #3 and #4 seeds to make playing to win worthwhile.

Re: Dennis Pitta

Yeah, confirmed out for Jets game. JLC made a tweet about him being a game time decision, but he quickly revised when several people pointed out he needed to be on active roster by 4p to be game time decision. He seems to think he's on track to play vs Pitt on Thanksgiving.

Said he had a VERY good week of practice, so there's that.
